Which UK retailers ship to OZ

[JBO76]

I thought that it would be usueful to start a thread listing the UK retailers who will ship to Australia and what their rates are.

I have read somewhere else that M&S and Next will ship but cant remember how much they Charge.

I suggest that we try to build up list including the following inforamtion:

Retailer
Description of goods shippied
Shipping cost
Approx time taken to arrive
When last used

Once I have a feel for how much information there is, I can design a good summary format to enable quick reference.

What a great idea for a thread, unfortunately I get all my items here in Oz or from the British Shop.

M and S is 10pounds right now, takes a few weeks
Next does but ive not used them so cant help there
Paperchase min order and 25pounds shipping
Amazon were doing free shipping, takes few weeks
Fishpond although an Oz site get stuff form the uk and that took a few weeks to arrive, free postage
i cant think of any more, shame Boots doesnt or Play

Next delivers for free now, used them a couple of months ago for pants. Took about 10 days
Amazon deliver books and DVDs free if your order is over £20 I think, again, used them a few months ago, again took about 7-10 days
Asos I hear deliver for free,
Wiggle are good for sports stuff apparently, v cheap compared to aus prices.

I think now is a great time to use uk Internet retailers. The aus Internet retail Market is under developed in comparison, the aus dollar is v strong against the pound. Uk retailers are really waking up to the huge potential of the aus Market, particularly as the uk economy is so weak ATM.

There is a thread already active on this subject, but it tends to focus on clothing shops only

Some of those clothes shops also deliver mens and kids stuff also so the title is a bit misleading.

Schuh also deliver £18 but delivery is supposed to be within 7 days.
Next is free delivery and usually 7-10 days.
M&S is £15 delivery and within 14 days.
Debenhams deliver £15 and within 14 days.
Dorothy Perkins £15 and within 14 days.
New Look £10 delivery and within 14 days.
Also Gap in america deliver to here but I'm not sure of cost.
happy shopping!

Play.com doesn;t but I get them posted to my dad's address and he posts them to me. Only costs about 3 quid but it can take up to 3 weeks.

Book Depository are very good and postage is free

I've tried to order items from Debenhams twice now, and both times the order has been lost....they refunded after they informed me the goods were lost (after 5 working days, which seems strange since I was expecting the delivery to take 2 weeks anyway), though I'm still out of pocket with international exchange fees on my Oz credit card. Shalln't be using them again...if anyone knows any toy shops that deliver out here, would love to know about it, must get my hands on the Octonauts toys before Christmas!

I used this company when I was in the UK;

Checked before we came out and it's free delivery to Aus

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread. It looks like there is a big selection of retailers who will post to Oz and hopefully in time, they will start to remove VAT charges on Oz based orders - now that really would make for a bargain!
